Vodafone launches Find & Go free navigation service

Share

Vodafone has announced an upgrade to its satellite navigation service, now offering its customers free access to directions and places of interest.

Partnering with Multimap, the Find & Go service allows users to search for a destination on their home PC and then send the search result to their mobile phone free of charge. They then have access to turn-by-turn spoken driving or walking directions, route alternatives based on traffic conditions, and landmark information.

The service uses mobile network positioning as well as GPS, meaning it’s possible to get a fairly accurate position quickly, even when out of range of the GPS signal.

In fact, the turn-by-turn navigation service will still cost £5 per month, with three months subscription included on the Nokia N78, 6120 and N95 8GB and one month with other Find&Go compatible handsets.
